For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in pork chops. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the pork chops and sauce to a 9x13-inch baking dish before baking. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepSeason pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
03
StepAdd butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. Add sliced onion, mushrooms, and sugar. Cook and stir for 1 minute, then cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until onions are softened, about 10 minutes.
04
StepUncover the skillet and stir the mixture, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Continue cooking until the onions are lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes more.
05
StepPour bourbon into the onion mixture and cook until the alcohol has mostly evaporated, about 3-4 minutes. Add beef broth and heavy cream; bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
06
StepReturn the browned pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil.
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 25-30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
